Office Hours
a coast-to-coast educational series presented by
Welcome to Office Hours, a monthly, educational series with a rotating roster of industry guest speakers. This series is a joint project of The Rising Artist Foundation and United Musicians and Allied Workers to present honest information on how to navigate the music industry. For independent and emerging artists without a thoughtful team, this knowledge is hard to find and often harder to understand. We hope to bridge that gap and help working artists thrive.
We’re currently planning the next batch of Office Hours for 2025. Stay Tuned.
In the meantime, watch the highlights and full recordings of past sessions here.
